Chapter 11: She is so powerful that she beats the traffickers and buyers to a pulp (XI)
"Sister, when I went shopping for clothes with you two days ago, I heard you shout something in the restroom and then disappeared. I didn't hear what you said clearly.
Later when I went out to look for you, I couldn't find you. I just heard someone on the street say that they saw a girl dressed like you taking a bus to Shenzhen.
Didn't you say that policies are becoming more and more open, and many Hong Kong businessmen are returning to the mainland to invest? Your uncle also has this plan to come back, so aren't you going to find him? "
Yu Jing tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart and found an excuse that sounded reasonable.
"Really... No, I went to... the provincial capital."
After hearing what Yu Jing said, Hu Xiaomeng deliberately kept her in suspense and found that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Jing, I heard that Yu Qing died young..."
Yu Jing's mother came out of the back room carrying a basket of vegetables, and was about to share the news that Yu Qing had returned to the village with her daughter.
Unexpectedly, the real owner was standing in front of her daughter. She was so scared that she almost dropped the basket in her hand.
"Aunt, go on, continue what you haven't finished. What am I short-lived? A short-lived ghost?"
Hu Xiaomeng tapped her arm gently with a stick to ask her to continue speaking, thinking that when the original owner's parents were still alive, this aunt had taken advantage of her family many times, and she always acted like a good girl after getting the advantage.
She already had experience in how to deal with such a rogue person.
"You're so rebellious! Is this how you talk to your elders? If you don't understand family education, forget about going to college. Let your cousin go to college in your place."
Yu Jing's mother was yelling there. Normally, her niece would never dare to go against her so blatantly.
“Everyone please come over here quickly, my aunt is forcing me to give up my college place to my cousin.
She bullied me because I had no parents, and wanted to seize my family’s property and kick me out of the house…”
Hearing the shameless words of the original owner's aunt, Hu Xiaomeng shouted even louder than her to attract all the women in the village. She believed that soon the words she had just said would spread to every household in the village.
"Nonsense, Ah Wu's wife, how can you say such a thing? Who can go to university just because they want to? This is the university Xiaoqing studied hard for ten years to get into."
Don't you think your Xiaohua has the ability? How dare someone who spends all day idling around in casinos go to college? Don't pollute the atmosphere of the university."
It happened that the village party secretary had just returned from a meeting in town today. Upon hearing the shouting, he quickly came over with a group of women to seek justice.
Just now the leaders praised Yujia Village for producing talented people. The girl from the Yu family is not only good at studying but also very courageous. She went to the provincial capital to visit the school and was able to help the town catch human traffickers.
"Thank you, Uncle Dong, for doing justice for me."
Hu Xiaomeng thanked the village party secretary Yu Dong very politely.
"Village Party Secretary, that's not the case. Xiaoqing just hit me with a stick and talked back to me, so I said a few nonsense words to her."
Yu Jing's mother was instantly intimidated when she heard what the village party secretary said. This was an official in the village that could not be offended.
The others chuckled secretly after hearing what she said. If they were going to find an excuse, they might as well find a good one.
The gentle girl from the Yu family who couldn't bear to step on an ant would hit someone with a stick? Tell the dogs in the village, they won't believe it.
"Aunt, I know you have a problem with me because I said I would give all the farmland to you to cultivate.
But since my parents passed away, you have been farming my family's land for more than a year, and I paid the public grain tax twice with my own money.
The rice and vegetables I usually cook at home are also given to me by my aunt. Since ancient times, people have emphasized that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. I gave her money, but she didn't want it, so I could only repay her in this way.
And I know that if I give the land to my aunt to farm, she will definitely take the initiative to help me pay the public tax, so I don’t have to worry about it.”
There is an unwritten rule in the village now. If someone's family goes to work in the city and does not cultivate the land but gives it to others to cultivate, that family will take the initiative to help pay the public grain to the state. The kind ones will even give the host some rice or dried rice.
But since Yu Qing's parents passed away, she had to go to school, so all the arable land in the family was given to her aunt's family for farming.
But her aunt's family never expressed any opinion, saying that they were family and there was no need to be so formal.
Yu Qing was a timid and thin-skinned girl, and she was too embarrassed to bring up this matter.
"Didn't Chunfang say that Xiaoqing felt it was troublesome not to pay the grain tax? It turns out that she took Xiaoqing's three plots of land to farm and didn't give them anything."
"That's right. Even if an outsider takes someone else's land to cultivate, paying the public tax and giving them some rice is the most reasonable thing to do. Relatives are not as good as an outsider."
"It's really pitiful for a child without parents to be bullied like this but dare not speak out. If she hadn't spoken out today, who would have known about this?"
"Good people are often bullied. This girl is too kind and doesn't like to argue with others. She will definitely be bullied to death when she goes out into society."
After hearing what Hu Xiaomeng said, the crowd of onlookers in the village started discussing the matter.
The village party secretary's face turned red and blue when he heard this. If the town leaders heard about it, he would definitely be criticized for letting the village's female college student and heroine suffer such injustice.
"Xiao Qing, it's Uncle Dong's fault that I let you suffer this kind of injustice right under my nose.
Ah Wu's wife, you should return the public grain money that Xiao Qing paid before to her. She can give her family's fields and vegetable gardens to whoever she wants to cultivate them. No one has the right to interfere.
If I find out that you're secretly bullying this niece again, don't blame me for not giving you face and gathering the whole village together to help Xiaoqing seek justice."
The village party secretary warned Yu Qing's aunt in a stern tone.
"Aunt, I paid the public grain tax twice myself, a total of 186 yuan. Just round it up to 200 yuan, as compensation for not giving me a bowl of rice."
With someone's support, Hu Xiaomeng took back what belonged to her in a legitimate way. In fact, she could have taken back what belonged to her on her own without the help of the village party secretary.
However, she was still very happy to see the original owner's aunt being slapped in the face in public.
After all, she had a deep understanding of how talkative the women in the village were. The aunts and uncles in the village could talk about trivial matters for a year or two, let alone something so new.
When Yu Qing's aunt heard that it would cost two hundred yuan, she almost fainted. Isn't this like cutting her flesh and tearing her heart alive with a knife?
But everyone was staring at her, and the village party secretary was waiting nearby, so she had to bear the pain and drag her heavy legs back to get the money.
